The website https://www.bbordoybarcelo.com, operated by author B. Bordoy Barceló, uses cookies and similar technologies to facilitate navigation, enable certain services to function, and, where authorized by the user, collect statistics about website usage.
In accordance with applicable regulations, particularly Article 22.2 of Spain’s Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI), and following the guidelines of the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), the following information is provided about these technologies, their purposes, and the available options for managing them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that websites store in a user’s browser when they visit a webpage.
These files allow websites to remember certain preferences, recognize previous visits, facilitate navigation, and collect technical or statistical information about website usage.
Cookies may be first-party cookies, when managed by the website owner, or third-party cookies, when external service providers are involved.
They may also be session cookies, which disappear when the browsing session ends, or persistent cookies, which remain stored for a specified period.
Some cookies may make it possible to identify or distinguish a user or device and may therefore involve the processing of personal data.
2. What Are Cookies Used For?
Cookies are used to facilitate access to the website’s content and services, remember certain preferences, and provide information about how the website is used in order to improve its operation.
Depending on their purpose, cookies may be classified into the following categories:
Technical or Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies enable the website’s basic functions, navigation, security, session management, and other features necessary to provide services requested by the user.
When they meet the requirements established by applicable law, these cookies do not require prior consent.
Preference or Personalization Cookies
These cookies allow certain user choices to be remembered, such as display settings or language preferences.
Whether consent is required depends on the specific purpose of each technology and whether it is essential to provide the requested service.
Analytics or Statistics Cookies
These cookies collect information about website usage, such as the number of visitors, pages viewed, or interactions performed.
These statistics help us understand how the website operates and improve its content and navigation.
When these technologies require consent, they must only be activated after the user has authorized their use.
Third-Party Cookies
Some external services integrated into the website may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Their use depends on the services actually incorporated into the website and the user’s consent preferences, where applicable.
3. Consent to the Use of Cookies
Cookies that are not strictly necessary and are subject to consent requirements must not be installed or activated before the user has authorized their use.
Where consent is required, the website will provide options to accept, reject, or customize cookie preferences.
Accepting and rejecting cookies must be equally accessible options.
Users may change or withdraw their consent at any time through the cookie management mechanism provided on the website.
Simply continuing to browse the website does not constitute valid consent to cookies that require authorization.
Rejecting optional cookies must not prevent access to public website content that does not technically depend on them.
